Don't you just love that sound of water splashing to the ground while the air is cooled through all of the mist ? Wait till you see one of thee most greatest phenomenons !
Underwater waterfall.. ?
The waterfall is located between Greenland and Iceland in the Denmark Strait .
The waterfall is the largest in the world , even much larger than Niagara falls and Angel falls . This waterfall is 160 km wide (100 miles) . The water falls almost 3505 m (11 500 feet ) to the bottom of the ocean . The Denmark Strait Cataract has a flow rate of 5 million cubic meters ( 175 million cubic feet) . That is serious power from Mother Nature ! Not only the biggest waterfall , but also it's underwater !
How is this possible ?
Sea water is very dynamic . When sea water from different temperatures and densities mix , we end up with a phenomenon like this . Nobody can go look at this amazing waterfall because there is no overlook to watch from . Freezing cold water comes from the Greenland sea and mix with the slightly warmer water of the Irminger sea . On the break where the two seas meet , the water falls straight down to the bottom of the ocean . It's really one of my favourite phenomenons out there . I think people need to know about this beautiful phenomenon that Mother Nature has blessed us with .
